Welcome to May

Well it's another month and the Cardinals continue to find ways to lose games. Yet another game lost when an opposing team throws a lefty at us. Yet another game where we scored three or fewer runs, bringing the total to 23 out of 30. So I ask again, what is it going to take before the front office makes a move at hitting coach???? We're starting to look like the Astro's of recent years (not scoring runs for the pitchers) with one huge difference, we don't have the quality pitching that they did. I don't know, maybe after they heard about Carp everybody in the front office threw up their hands and gave up the season. Maybe that's why McRae is still sitting in that dugout who knows.
You figure that if anything could have sparked that clubhouse it could have been the death of one of their teammates. But NOTHING has changed, and I mean nothing. They didn't play any worse, which was something that could have been expected given the circumstances, and we all know they sure haven't played any better since Hancock's death. I guess as St. Louis Cardinal fans there are a few things to hold on to here. One, they play in the N.L. Central where anything can happen. Two, as long as they can stay close by July and August we could get two quality pitchers back in the rotation for the stretch run (granted you never know what you're going to get from Carp and especially Mulder but still) and finally....we sucked just as bad the second half of last year and look where that got us:)
Meanwhile, Brad "babyface" Thompson gets his first start tonight...gulp.
